I don’t know who said it first but this notion rings true, “Common sense is not so common.” Common sense is not always logical and it isn’t exactly intuitive in the sense that going with my feelings can often be subverted by fear or wishful thinking. But there is a deeper intuition that is more reliable than either logic or my feelings. It is born of regular meditation practice and arises from the heart in the wisdom of compassion. The wisdom of compassion doesn’t recognize factions; political, religious or philosophical differences. It speaks directly from heart to heart. Compassion without wisdom is often counter-intuitive… compassion is good but combining it with wisdom is best.Monday, December 5, 2011
